Super Freakin' Awesome

That's how good this book was. I never had the opportunity to read the first, but then was given this, and was absolutely blown away. Two incredibly bright people use statistics and "economics" to show you the other side of the stories you thought you knew so well.

Always appreciating a different look at things, I was amazed by a lot of what they had to say. Think global warming is a unique, undeniably massive, problem that only decreased human activity can solve? Think people are naturally apathetic? Altruistic?

Think again.

A quick, easy read, yet equally entertaining and intriguing. They put everything together with the experts, sometimes geniuses, and numbers to back it up.
